    I’m a big fan of the ref. 2505. I recently picked this up. I’d appreciate any thoughts regarding the dial. It looks good to me, but 8-11 o’clock are a bit off. I think it was common for some misalignment 65+ years ago, but would welcome your thoughts.

    I feared that. Thanks. I will move it over to the “worst redials” thread.

    It’s a nice looking watch, the markers in the sub dial were the giveaway as a redial for me, as I’m not so familiar with the older fonts and logos.

    I would not pay full price for this but if I could get it for 100-150$ I'd go for it, honestly... As has been said it's not a "bad" redial. It's not a good (perfect) one either, but still.

    I am attracted to these ref. 2505's. I have a policy of picking them up whenever I find one for a good price, despite flaws. I've yet to see one for $150, but I'm certainly looking

    Mirrored indexes font is incorrect, the seconds markers are off center (check out the 8, 10, and 11 o'clock markers), "Swiss Made" would probably not be on an original dial for this reference, but the positioning of "Swiss Made" is incorrect; "OMEGA" font is incorrect.

    It would be on an original dial , a bit hidden by the bezel.

    Depending on the year, not necessarily. I suspect all of these are original dials and none state "Swiss" or "Swiss Made":

    The issue is not the presence of the Swiss made, but the fact it is not centered the right way.
